Arriving back and met by Corky and Serenia, the Kets were mobbed by the other Kets! It would take a while to drag them away for examination by Medisents. All of them except Edram, cleared and fit to be released. Edram was given some extra medication and allowed to go! The after effects of the Nabiris would produce a mega headache! Luckily the Medisents had understood that and given him something to ease it. What the Kets did not know about? The vial containing the fluid Zarc had given them?
It contained an inhibitor that would remove the memory of WHO their rescuer was, what he looked like? The fun was only just about to start. NONE of them could remember how they had gotten out. The Medisent scans had detected residual traces, of an inhibitor chemical, but NOT, why it had been used? Also, it was no longer present! It had been quickly dispersed by their bodies systems. “Well we don’t need to know any more. You’re safe.
That’s what counts ! “ Becci was hugging them. Claria was being hailed as their team leader and her team were making sure that they all knew, she was not to blame for what had happened. Truth was it made them stronger as a team. In the unfolding nightmare they had responded and learned so much about each other! Individuals skills including those of Lilia and Doona. La Toyah had been talking to Zarc. “Thankyou. I knew I could rely on you.“
“It might be prudent for the Kets in future to understand the geology as much as the ecology of Onica?! The weather and seasons? I seem to be aware of a lack of knowledge in this direction!“
He started to smile. “They are an exceptional team. I was impressed by the sight that met me when I entered the chamber they were in. Well organized, working as a TEAM?
Was that not what this was all about? WHO could survive against the odds an still remain as a TEAM?” “Well put. I think they won the trial.“ “I would also suggest that the Kets are confined for the next twenty four hours at least. The funnel on that Piron (TORNADO) is larger than anything, I have seen.“ La Toyah was not to dismiss his advice lightly. She thanked Zarc again, as he took his leave of her. She immediately instigated a curfew.
“All Kets are to remain within the Knurlings, none are to venture out. Until the all clear is given. Any Ket caught disobeying that order without good reason, will be disciplined.“ Serenia was making sure that the Kets were more than aware of the rule.
They could see the weather worsening out of the windows as we would know them. Temperature had dropped to an all time low of Minus 30! “The warm air off the Tsaj plateau, which has a volcanic core and hot springs, is causing an inbalance in the air temperature mixed with the extreme cold creating that Piron!“ Jimsin, glanced at the screen in front of him. The last time one was anywhere near the size of that was some decades ago. Very rare!“ “Is there a threat to the Akademy structures?“
“Some of the structures would NOT withstand a force of this strength?! BUT we have predicted the Piron will pass across the Estuary, though the water filtration plant could suffer some damage. Into the lands beyond. When it reaches the mountains it will die out.“ “Then all we can do is watch and wait. Hope it does not change course.“
